GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) In the midst of catastrophic humanitarian suffering for more than two million Palestinians — half of them children, the Israeli occupation army continued, for the 417th consecutive day, to pound and target different areas and massacre more civilians in the Gaza Strip, especially in the northern areas.
Reporters for the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) said on Tuesday that the Israeli occupation army carried out attacks on several homes, civilian targets and shelter centers in different areas of Gaza during the past 24 hours, killing and injuring dozens of citizens.
The Israeli army’s large-scale genocidal campaign in northern Gaza, especially in Jabalia and Beit Lahia, has entered day 53, where its forces continue to intensively bomb homes and shelters and attack civilians while imposing a tight siege on the entire area.
Deliberate Israeli attacks on ambulance and civil defense workers already deprived northern Gaza of any rescue services.
According to the health ministry in Gaza, the Israeli army committed three massacres in different areas of the Gaza Strip during the past 24 hours, and killed and injured at least 122 civilians, while a large number of victims are still under the rubble of bombed buildings or lying on roads.
In a statement on Tuesday, the health ministry said that the Israeli army killed and injured a large number of civilians in different areas of Gaza during the past 24 hours, but at least 14 martyrs and 108 wounded citizens were transported to hospitals.
The health ministry added that the death toll from the ongoing Israeli bombardments and shooting attacks, which started on October 7, 2023, climbed to 44,249 martyrs and the number of the wounded surged to 104,746 people.
In a related incident, media sources said that the Israeli army bombed a house in Sheikh Radwan neighborhood in Gaza City, killing and injuring a number of people.
Meanwhile, Gaza’s Government Media Office said that about 10,000 tents were either washed away or damaged due to the winter storm, appealing for international help to provide displaced families with tents.
Heavy rains flooded tent encampments of displaced Palestinians across the Gaza Strip on Monday, adding seasonal winter misery to displaced families already devastated by 13 months of Israeli genocidal war.
